With Quill's new image uploading UI, I was able to easily add a form field for specifying image alt text. This is a relatively new feature of Micropub, added thanks to a review by the W3C accessibility group.

When specifying alt text for an uploaded photo, the request is then sent as JSON format which will look like the below:

{ 
  "type": "h-entry", 
  "properties": { 
    "content": "Example post with an image", 
    "photo": { 
      "value": "http://example.com/photo.jpg", 
      "alt": "a photo of a globe" 
    } 
  }
}

The Micropub endpoint can then store the alt text along with the photo, and display it in the page.

Please let me know if you end up adding support for image alt text to your Micropub endpoint!
